Divine Truths of Autumn Sunrise

A long but fruitful day…

I slept better last night than I have in months. There’s a sense of peace I’d been lacking, an un-filled void that, for the first time in ages, did not keep me awake last night growling with hunger pains. I felt content. It was like the feeling of coming home after a long, painful, and treacherous journey.

I woke in a strange place. The fog has lifted, but the mists are still thick and I know there is much to be done before I can again see daylight… regardless of the road I choose to travel.

I drew my morning cards, but left before I was able to tie them all together with the day’s correspondences in a daily dose. The day was strange because it started out booked solid, then two appointments cancelled, but then two people called wanting to know if I could squeeze them in.

Good things came from today on many levels. First, I was able to secure two standing weekly appointments. One client I had done a reading for before, her first one. During my learning process with numerology, I offered her a numerology report which she received with much gratitude. I’ve had her booked for this appointment for a few weeks, and there were specific things this time that she wanted to look at more closely.

When I do the first reading for a client, I actually do ask them to release all of their own ideas or expectations. I prefer they don’t have a single focus or a question on their mind. Why? Because sometimes we may think we know what our issues are, but in truth, there are underlying layers that have more of a long term effect on us, layers that can actually influence what we think we may know about ourselves and our desires. For the first reading, it’s best, in my opinion, for the Universe to decide which topics should be brought to light. For the first-time client, it’s an introduction to me, to my personal style, to the cards I use, and to the process – so I think it’s best left “un-navigated” by preconceived ideas of what answers are sought. However, after the first reading, I encourage the client to get more specific – especially in cases where the first reading really hits tender areas or provokes tears. It’s surprising to the client sometimes what will trigger tears in them… and they’ll say, “Wow… I had no idea that was even in there!” – “In there” meaning in their heart, or in their thoughts. And by “tears”, I don’t mean painful or unhealthy tears — I mean the cleansing kind. Those are the tears that flow when someone has been repressing an issue, has been in denial about an issue, or has confused issues internally.

Anyway, this specific person had quite a few different areas she wanted to hit on, but I advised her to choose only one. We talked for a little bit about which one should take the spotlight, or how several of the “questions” may actually be tied together. We settled on one topic, and agreed I’d come back the following week and we could address the second issue. She then asked how often we could do it, and I replied that it could be done as often as desired and productive, provided we weren’t asking the same question or focusing on the same topic each time. I don’t recommend revisiting one topic more than once per month. So, she asked if she could just have the same spot each Friday until we’d worked through some of the problems.

The appointment right after hers went much the same way. That client had never had a reading before, but is naturally receptive and has had several … supernatural/paranormal/magickal experiences and has had no idea what to do with them or, in some cases, how to make sense of them. We agreed, at the client’s request and NOT my prompting, that I’d reserve that spot for weekly visits. To be honest, I hadn’t even considered standing appointments – not that I wasn’t open to the idea, it just hadn’t occured to me. I was thinking more of a monthly thing, but for someone who is currently puzzled or facing obstacles in several categories of life (ie. love, work, health, family, location, etc.), it does make perfect sense to have more frequent visits, each one covering a different area. I’m really glad they thought of it!!

Between appointments, my phone was ringing in abundance. More people wanting to schedule appointments. I was beyond tickled to be filling up dates in my calendar weeks in advance. It’s happening much more quickly than I’d anticipated, especially since I”m working strictly on a referral basis only, with no marketing or advertising at all – although I should have been prepared for it because my own readings and universal messages have all been pointing in this direction telling me to brace myself for the wave of energy that’s about to come as all my work and efforts are about to return to me.

After my scheduled appointments, I went and visited a friend of mine who is actually working very closely with me on turning this into a tangible, licenced, full-time operating business. I may have the spiritual gifts, the learned knowledge, the wisdom that has come from years of practice, and the intuitive inclinations – but she’s got an incredible business sense and office management skills. When I first approached her with my ideas, she was 150% supportive of my “going for it”. But it was only a week later I approached her and asked her if she’d be interested in maybe working for me, as an office manager. Tonight, though, it became clear that she may well be more than an employee and take on the position of partner. We haven’t discussed all the details yet and are being careful not to run before we can walk, but we’re considering every possibility from all the angles. Regardless of whether it’s as office manager or business partner, she’s eager to work with me and believes I’m doing what I’m meant to be doing.

All appointments and visits completed, tack on an additional hour for the drive back to my house from town, and it was 1:30 a.m. when I arrived back home. Wow. All in all, it was about a twelve hour day.

The readings were all on target – and the clients were all very warm and receiving of what I was there to offer in the way of insights and spiritual guidance. I drove home feeling assured that the Universe is placing me exactly where I need to be, with exactly whom I’m supposed to be with, to do exactly what it has designed for me to do. If this continues at this pace, I’ll have to add Tuesdays to my availability… and if I can get one more day like that where I’ve got people waiting and trying to book, or booking standing appointments, that’s when it will be time to walk away from the restaraunt and burn my ugly brown aprons.

Have an event to attend with my mother tomorrow and am looking forward to it. Her company picnic is being held at a local park and I’m going to enjoy the time outside. It’ll be my opportunity to rejuvinate in nature’s care, yet also socialize at the same time, and spend the day with my family.

I believe Saturdays will be the days I opt not to draw my own cards or do a daily dose. I think I need one day of just absorbing/processing/releasing. That’s not to say I won’t blog or write poetry or spit out a few coffee thoughts… but the power-packed personal meditations will be put on pause, just for that day.

There’s lots on my mind tonight… more than I could express, more than I care to express openly. Life is changing; it’s changing fast, and I’m enjoying the process.

I’m exhausted, but in a good way – and will rest my head on my pillow tonight with peace of mind and a warm heart.
